London's The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is Getting a Cast Album

Jethro Compton and Darren Clark's musical adaptation of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which plays London's West End, will release a cast recording.

The album will be released to all streaming services on May 16, with a physical CD to a follow June 20. The announcement comes only a few weeks after the musical picked up three Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical, Outstanding Musical Contribution (for Darren Clark and Mark Aspinall), and Best Actor in a Musical (for John Dagleish).

Directed by Compton, the musical utilizes an actor-musician ensemble to bring F. Scott Fitzgerald's iconic short story to life, transporting it from Baltimore, Maryland to the north coast of Cornwall. When an infant is born old and ages backwards, time becomes all the more precious and he and those around him do their best to overcome the tides of time.

Dagleish stars as Benjamin Button, opposite Clare Foster as Elowen Keene. The company is completed by Katy Ellis, Matthew Burns, Jonathan Charles, Oonagh Cox, Anna Fordham, Philippa Hogg, Damien James, Ann Marcuson, Jack Quarton, Benedict Salter, and Elliot Mackenzie.
